Cryptocurrency exchange OKX and blockchain security firm CertiK have disclosed a critical vulnerability in OKX’s iOS wallet, triggering immediate calls for users to update their apps.
The Dec. 19 announcement has sparked controversy over the timing of the disclosure, as concerns rise about the potential compromise of user data and crypto assets.
CertiK posted to Twitter/X:
“Attention! We urge users of OKX wallets to update their iOS app to the latest version immediately. Earlier this month, we identified and reported a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the OKX iOS App, leading to potential compromise of sensitive data and crypto assets.“
In a separate announcement, OKX confirmed that it had deployed an update that resolved the issue. It asserted that the bug had not affected customer funds.
The issue appears unrelated to an earlier attack on OKX’s decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator, which led to $2.7 million in losses around Dec. 12.
